BREAKING NEWS!

BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS! BREAKING NEWS!WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS REGARDING A "BARGAIN HUNTING WITH LAURIE" POST, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED ON SATURDAY. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THAT POSTING, PLEASE SEE IT BELOW, FOLLOWING THIS BREAKING NEWS. THE FOLLOWING IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:Laurie @ Bargain Hunting With Laurie not only has the best blog visitors, they are also the smartest blog visitors! Linda (Mom of a German Shorthair), who is a wonderful visitor to many blogs in Blogland, is also a very smart cyber detective. She found numerous Lazy Susan's very similar to the one Laurie coveted in Stephanie's home. At least one of the sites Linda found was offering a sale price on the Lazy Susan, and of course, Laurie loves a sale! Just as Laurie was close to ordering one of those (we suspect it would have been the one on sale), another of her blog readers, Tammy518, became a cyber detective and found THE Lazy Susan at Orvis.com! Our records show that this is only about the tenth time in almost 40 years that Laurie has bought anything (other than groceries) that wasn't on sale. She did contact Orvis to see if there was any kind of discount that could be offered to her brilliant blog readers, but Orvis declined to offer a discount, in spite of the fact that Laurie greatly exaggerated the number of readers of her blog!! Laurie will immediately be ordering the Lazy Susan @ http://www.orvis.com/store/productchoice.aspx?pf_id=35GT&dir_id=1034&group_id=1039&cat_id=5158Laurie wishes to send a huge thanks to Linda and to Tammy for all of their brilliant detective work in this very worthwhile cause!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!! I am so happy for you. I went right over there to check it out and yes it is just what you wanted... Lucky Girl! Sometimes you just have to pay full price... It will be worth it... Love YA

YAHOO!!! Laurie...how much girl?? $$$ will you have to pay for it?? I need to check this out..I want that so bad and on top of my table it will give a new "Spin" to things..Thanks Mom/Linda and Tammy great work girl..the I spy team strikes BIG time...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Oh, that's so wonderful, Laurie...its really a beauty, so distinctive and both rustic and elegant at the same time...I love it, and I think you were wise to grab it, even though it wasn't on sale! lol Sometimes you've just got to go for it! :-)

You need to ask Susie how many times I've found things for her on eBay. I remember when her favorite camera died, and I found the same camera at good price on eBay, did the bidding and had it shipped to her. I just love detective work.

Laurie, I am so glad you got that lazy Susan. What would we do without computers to track down "needles in haystacks" like that,...or without sweet blogging friends. Looking forward to a tablescape featuring your new lazy Susan. Linda

***** Awwww, shucks, ma'am! Tweren't nuthin' you wouldn't do for US, if WE wanted something special & couldn't "find" it, huh TAMMY?!?!? (And I suspect we're both as thrilled to be ABLE to help, as YOU are to be able to order it!!!)~~~ Mannnny hugs, Linda (Of course we DO expect to see it in one of your numerous uber fab tablesettings, Sweet friend!!!)~~~

You're so right, Linda! What a great bunch of ladies on all these blogs who share their resources and such. I've become an expert "Googler." LOL! When I'm looking for something, I won't stop til I find it!

Holy cow, ladies! I just got a Tuesday Morning flyer in the mail and they've got - you guessed it - a wine barrel top Lazy Susan in the ad! It's only $60, but I don't like it quite as well as the Orvis one, which is exactly like Laurie's friend's. Just thought I'd put this out here in case anyone wants one for a cheaper price.

Wellllll, girlfriend, YOU are a "TRENDSETTER" ~~~ "and THAT's all I'm gonna say about THAT", as Lily Tomlin used to say!!! Oh yeah, and BTW, please don't be "upset" if you get "hate mail" from my Sweetheart hubby!!!!!!!!! (Figure it out yet? Ha!)~~~ XOXO Me

That's great news Laurie. Who knew there were so many great detectives here in blogland? Did it hurt terribly to order something not on sale lol! Just don't make a habit of it. Can't wait to see it. Hugs, Kathy

Dats a cool one girlfriend! I did check and you can get 3%+ $5 if your join www.ebates.com I buy through them all the time so I can assure you they're safe. It isn't much ....but hey it'll buy ya a couple of lattes! Vanna

Oh too CUTE of a post! And what wonderful ladies are to be found in blogging!!! Now everyone will WANT one! It will be the new 'in' item for all of us home decor/decorating/bargain hunting bloggers! CONGRATS, can't wait to see it in YOUR home. Photos as soon as it arrives!!! K?

oh how COOL!!! i am soo happy and thank you for sharing that link also!! :) i was going to ask my DH to make one out of a wine case but you found the wine barrel ones!!! YAYYY!!! lolAnd thank you so VERY much for your visits and WONDERFUL comments too!! LOVE IT!! Have an AWESOME day! :)

I'm so sorry that I'm so late in getting over to your place...yesterday was a bit hectic with no computer time...boohoo! Hehe!!! I'm so glad that you stopped by and took a peek at some of the progress in my little frenchy studio/office! Thank you so much for all of your sweet, sweet compliments!!! You're the best, my friend!

Well Dearheart...I followed the link to your wine barrel lazy suzy...it's fabulous and will look so pretty at your place!!! Ohhh...the fact that it will be very useful is a plus too...wink! I can't wait to see it...of course, you'll post about it, won't you?

How exciting! I bet you are still pinching yourself...and to think you didn't have to embarrass yourself by trying to sneak Stephanie's out of her house! Stephanie's house was really a fun tour, btw. There were many things that I really, really enjoyed seeing. Please thank her for allowing us to tour her home.

Wow Laurie! I went and looked at it, and it is the very same one! I thought it was an antique, and you'd never find it! I love it, and I can't wait to see a blog about how you are using it! I am so happy for you, it will look fab in your home! Love Ya! Connie

Laurie, thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my Starfruit. Yes they do sell them at the grocery stores. Usually at more of a specialty store that carries all the yuppy stuff, you know the kind I mean. They are sort of expensive in most stores, but you really do have to try one. The plate you saw was only 1 1/2 fruit, so they go a long way. Give it a try, you will really like it. Hugs, Marty

Precious Laurie, Got your note on my blog., what a sweet thing you wrote. You ARE a talented writer, YES you are! ;) And...I wanted to tell you to come back and see my Wordless Wed., again. I awoke near 1am., and just couldn't use clipart for my post afterall. I took some pics, went to work and did some cool graphic art. Come check it out and let me know what you think. Happy Ash Wednesday! ~CC Catherine

Laurie, forgot to tell you.. Got a flyer for Tuesday Morning specials starting on March 3 in GA., Atlanta area., guess what is for sale, THIS VERY THING! Yes, and it's only $59.99 or something like it. Just wanted to let you know, I couldn't believe it when I seen it. THIS VERY WINE BARREL LAZY SUSAN! Yep! ~CC Catherine

When I'm contemplating a purchase, because I think the price is too high, DH always tells me that I have two choices. Either pay what they are asking or leave it alone.

The effect of his statement is to make me decide how badly I desire the thing in question. Sometimes you just have to pay full price. I look for bargains everywhere and on everything I can, so when something comes along that I just can't live without, I don't feel bad about the purchase. You shouldn't feel bad about the lazy susan. You have saved so much on your overall thriftiness, you deserve it.

Laurie~~ You made me cry too! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart with everything you said about my post! It's a little scary to open yourself up like that but I'm glad I did...you are just the bestest friend Laurie!!!! I love ya! L~
